Chapter 728: I Shall Usher in the Winds of Ruination! II

"Fools!"

He bellowed out as his heart truly felt stifled, everything he had been working for all this time seemingly being for naught.

From the blue planet he came from until this point he was in right now, he realized that he had never escaped the Apocalypse!

He was in it then, and he was still in it now as undoubtedly, the Dark Universe was headed towards its own destruction. Who knew how long it would be, who knew how many days or months or years were left.

All he knew was that everything and everyone within it...would all perish and die!

No matter what he did...he would die!

The Dark Universe was headed towards destruction the moment the Sages carried out their actions, what they thought was them saving their Universe being the thing that utterly and ultimately set it on a path of Ruination, exactly what the name of the Cosmic Treasure was.

Ruination!

The splitting of the Dark Universe from the Primordial Cosmos was like cutting a leaf off of a tree- this leaf was bound to wither and die in a matter of time! Such a thing was exactly what was happening right now, where the Dark Universe was a cut leaf that was already withering and would soon turn into nothingness as everything within perished!

No matter what Noah did, he would be perishing along with it too! This was the reason for his immense wrath- it was because of the stupidity of the Sages and Great Sages that did not know what their actions fully did, and for the greed of the other Universes of the Primordial Cosmos that cornered them in the first place.

"Fools!"

He bellowed out again with immense rage as beside him, even the core of the Novus Galaxy could not comment!

"..."

Minutes passed as he simmered in rage, continuing his viewing of the description of the [History] portion of the Ruination Core. None of the details changed, but a single paragraph was all that remained in the end as he forced himself to read it.

[...If the Cosmic Treasure known as Ruination is reassembled once more by a being with the Universal Origin Physique, a possibility exists to undo what had been done in the past. For this to be brought to fruition, the Ruination Cores have to be gathered as once more since the time of the Primordial Era...Ruination shall be brought forth once more.]

RUMBLE!

With a wrathful mind and a shaking heart, Noah read the last few words over and over again as amidst his red eyes, a brilliant light began to shine!

There were still many things he didn't know, but the shocking history of the Cosmic Treasure known as Ruination was displayed in front of him with clarity. Aside from the portions that induced his anger, the last paragraph was one that gave hope amidst the dark tunnel of the apocalypse.

The action that the Sages and Great Sages of the Dark Universe had taken on the past...there lay a possibility to reverse it!

The leaf that had been cut off the main tree of the Primordial Cosmos...there lay a possibility to stitch it back before it withered and died.

Calming his rage, Noah looked at these words as his expression hardened, his thoughts moving as an immense choice lay in front of him.

He only hesitated for a total of 5 seconds, and he then made up his mind!

Just 5 seconds, and he made the decision that was true to him! He would not simply lie down as he waited for the eventual destruction of the Dark Universe that was torn away from the Primordial Cosmos. This was not like him.

Instead, he would give it his all to change it as the task in front of him...was extremely grand!

If he undertook it, it would give him the sole responsibility for the lives of an uncountable number of beings , but it would mean the entire Dark Universe would not perish.

To even begin doing all of this, he had to not only collect the remaining 6 Ruination Cores, but complete all of the 6 Law Origins of Light, Dark, Fire, Water, Earth, Air as he used them to hold a Ruination Core each!

Once he achieved this, he could possibly reverse the actions of the Sages and Great Sages of the Dark Universe...but it would mean he would bring forth Ruination once more!

The Cosmic Treasure that caused all of this...he had to bring it back in order to change the fate of the Dark Universe. 

To save the Dark Universe, he had to bring down Ruination!

An extremely heavy burden to shoulder, but as he looked inside his origin and saw the swirling Law Origins, he affirmed that he was one of the very few if not the only one capable of even shouldering it. So he steeled his heart as his face rose.

He glanced away from the panel that showed the History of the Ruination Core as his eyes locked to the floating obsidian core that was the Novus Galaxy.

In front of this galaxy, his wrath transformed into extreme calm as he uttered what seemed like ramblings, with his voice growing louder and firmer each time.

"Ruination…"

"The Sages and Great Sages of old all perished from this single Treasure, and I...I will bring it forth once more!"

THRUMM!

"I will do it! I will collect all the Ruination Cores as I set us back on the right path, as I rejoin the Dark Universe with the Primordial Cosmos!"

"I shall usher into this Universe...Ruination!"

…!!!

Essence raged all around him as in this area that was thick with universal law essence, it seemed to have become particularly active as it raged around him vibrantly.

His words seemed to have evoked some sort of change as all sorts of Universal law essences surrounded him, his image becoming extremely imposing as amidst his chilling calm, his rage still remained at the ones that had caused all this!

On this day in the Novus Galaxy, a shocking vow was made that would forever change the direction of utter annihilation of the Dark Universe!

Ah!

    I’d like to imagine that if this WN got adapted into a series like an anime, it’d start the first episode or so with a flashback to the sages and great sages with the cosmic treasure and what happened by the end of the war, and then we start with Noah way back when he awakened and start working our way back up. That would really highlight how small yet fast the scale of everything truly is with this plot. Since most of us would probably forget about it as it would have no relevance to us back then.

    Also I’d be shocked if this novel ends with less than 2000 chapters minimum. Adui is establishing so many major plot points from ancient powers to a goddamn primordial cosmos and he has barely scratched the surface of the first and hasn’t even touched the latter. I am genuinely scared because as imaginative the guy is, there is only so much you can do before things start to feel repetitive and lose their uniqueness in terms of storylines and powers. Not to mention the characters.

      When this type of thing happens, the story starts to go faster so I'd say with what he's revealed, 2000 chapters is too much. Probably between 1000 and 1300

        I can totally see what you mean considering the pacing so far, but there are two reasons I feel like the number of minimum chapters I’ve given is reasonable. This is far from a pure power fantasy. Meaning there needs to be a solid story and characters for us to actually care about what is going on including the power system and its constant escalation. Take the Celestials for example. We spent hundreds of chapters dealing with their arc from the Lost World till we finally met with Aldrich. That arc only just finished about a couple hundred chapters ago. All that took place in just one galaxy. I find it difficult to imagine that we’ll be spending less than a few hundred chapters before we are finally done with all the Ancient Powers, finding all the Ruination tools and uniting back with the Primordial Cosmos. And that is assuming everything goes according to plan which is frankly unlikely. Things will hardly stop there after Noah’s successful. We will absolutely still have to do deal with the other universes and get to know them. That alone could make for an arc that lasts for yet another few hundred chapters depending on how he plans to handle things.

        But like you said, my estimation may be overboard...according to what has been revealed to us thus far. Thing is I highly suspect he will stop advancing the world further beyond Primordial Cosmos. I am both worried and looking forward to it to be honest.

      I mean tbh this book has no real tension, last time Noah was in actual life or death scenario was during getting that time dagger.

      I mean infinite mana and protagonist alongside Power Leveling Realms, laws, skills,Daos on meth

      There should be no tension cuz Noah is smart enough to only go bitch slapping once he is on equal footing with enemy in realm of power and in future Dao so as much as this book is a fun face slapping, it is more than that so…

      To bring tension is very simple

      The author has done a wonderful job on allowing Us readers to know the power output of different realms of power. As the escalation increase, I would imagine Fights won’t as simple as beating and taking the core.

      Like BH and Quasar can blow themselves up(I am still salty Author didn’t integrate white holes, wormholes, ringularity and different types of Black Holes CUZ THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO COOL and fights far more strategic.

      Most of the time Noah’s scheming only occurs prelude to the battle but probably as Noah and his strength grow stronger, more ancient and more complex He might need to scheme during battle thus We can add mind games to make the book not boring.

      Personally I think in about 300 chapters, He should have already bitch slapped Ancient powers and he will probably integrating DU into PC again…

      Tho then here is where story could probably stop being just face slapping cuz… even for Noah, it will now turn into more nuanced flex plus remember DU is somewhere that isn’t connected to PC and other universe so where exactly is it’s physical location?

      Noah has to fight against the Concept themselves? How do u beat an idea or embodiment of a Fundamental Aspect of Reality? And beings with Authority over those said concepts.

      Lemme explain by giving a example of Noah coming across a Lifeforms that for all purpose is intangible and all present.

      We can have lovecraftian Eldritch Outer Gods,

      Brahman (Hindu OverGod which is idea that This entity resides within every packet of energy, every substance, All of SpaceTime and every concept basically this dude isnt just Omnipresent, It IS [Totality of All Existence]

      “YHWH” or Allah. The Omnipresent, All knowing, All powerful God.

      Now I will explain what Logos are. (I think this is what the PC operates on)

      First, I would exclude the Trimuthri (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva) on one side, and Azatoth and Yog-Sothoth on the other side. They are universal cosmic principles beyond omnipotence, and would essentially be one and the same. Even if they could fight somehow, this would equal instant cesation of reality.

      As for the lower tier Outer Gods and Hindu Gods, they are about equal in power. Seemingly cosmic/multigalactic power, but their avatars can be defeated, outsmarted and killed. I would give it 6/10 to the Hindu pantheon, since they are known to be capable of setting their differences aside and cooperating, while Outer Gods hate each other or operate at completely different frequencies from one another.

      Earth tier Hindu deities and Great Old Ones would make a cool match for a fight. All of them are just about as powerful that they could smite the Earth clean off the material realm, but not more so. In the end however G.O.O are mostly priests and leaders, or insane and animalistic monsters, while lesser Hindu deities are usually badass warriors, who live and breathe for spectacular battles. n I would give it 8/10 at least to Team Hindu.

      EDIT: A bit of further explanation on omnipotence in this context:

      if something is beyond a perfect being, said being is not perfect.

      Exactly! This is the main point theologians and philosophers also make. Very TLDR version is that Omnipotent Being acts, and having to act means being imperfect. Perfect being emanates itself without action. Perfect being neither needs or has any potence to act, it just IS.

      Most ancient philosophers and theologians referred to it as the Logos, the underlying logic of reality, its "rules". Logos is not omnipotent by itself since it does not do anything, but it provides a scaffold on which the omnipotent Being can act.

      • ⁠For Plato, Logos is the original Form that emanates the rest, including gods (omnipotent or otherwise).
      • ⁠For Aristotle, Logos is what enables the Prime Mover (omnipotent god), and predates him.
      • ⁠for Talmudic Jewish scholars, Logos is the Shehina, the fertile ground on which Yahweh planted the world.
      • ⁠For the Norse, Logos is the Guningagap, the primordial chaos that coalesced into Fire and Ice, then the first giant, that the omnipotent Allfather Odin shaped into reality.
      • ⁠For Christians and Muslims, the Word is the Logos, and it coexists with God is some kind of relationship of identity (Trinity, kalimat Allāh etc)
      • ⁠For Buddhists, the Void emanates everything and gods (mnipotent or otherwise) are just illusions of the veil of Maia, "potence" is fake, only act-less emanation of nothingness is a thing.
      • ⁠For Taoists, the WHOLE POINT is that act-less emanation is the whole reason reality exists, and actions are futile
      • ⁠For the Hindu, Brahman is the prime, action-less principle, within which Omnipotent gods like Vishnu act.

      And FINALLY, in the shared Cthulhu Mythos, Azatoth is the Logos, and Yog-Sototh is the Omnipotent God. Azatoth does not act, is not concious, dreams reality into being, and if it woke up, reality would end. It is Yog-Sototh who acts, he is the Opener of Ways, the Key and the Gate, he even answers prayers and fathers children via his avatars!

      Azatoth does not DO anything, and has zero-potence, but by emanating reality IS more powerful than the Omnipotent Yog-Sototh, since Yog is barely Azatoth's dream.

      Does this make sense? Even for Noah, Beings above omnipotence should be harder to beat and getting to their level is sure as hell not as easy as just killing a stronger enemy and absorbing their core.

      Lord of the mysteries does this perfectly as the book is a fun thriller ride with so much mind games where Faith from believers is equally important as personal power

      And guess what Noah has… Infinite realm with billions of ppl who revere him as their Supreme Patron.
      Author can easily make this book more spiced up and

      Him explaining the Apocalypse part 700 chapters in and Still making us excited should be proof that autour with research into religion, philosophy, mythology, cosmology,astronomy and physics should make this book SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING.

    Really hope, the type of apocalypse of Total Stagnation of Totality of Dark Universe would be end game scenario if Noah fails this task. Cuz what’s worse than dying along side ur universe…

    It’s u forever stuck in a single instance knowing just before everything stagnated, U will forever be frozen in ur despair and suffering knowing U failed and ur forever turned into a Statue to immortalize ur Failure

    knowing u couldn’t change shit and u had to suffer for the stupidity of ur ancestors.

    But here is the question.

    Primordial Cosmos Exists In a specific location along side all other universe as they all have their physical position… so where exactly is Dark Universe Right now.

    What if Dark Universe is called dark… cuz not only this Universe forever alone in darkness of its loneliness… just like there is void between planets, stars, galaxies, clusters, supercluster and even probably different Universes

    What if All of Primordial Cosmos alongside with its different universes probably had void between each other so what if all of PC and it’s different resided in some even Bigger Void but Now Dark Universe is where?

    Idk this should be more terrifying for Noah, cuz what’s worse than being immortalized in ur Failure if u fail to stop the[ Total Stagnation] Apocalypse, it’s realizing there are Outer Gods like Eldritch Abomination reside where ever Dark Universe is currently locked in.

    Let’s call this Void In which Dark Universe as [Eldritch Last Void of Nothingness]

    To be fair, while others see massive amounts of enemies swarming you all the time as a calamity, for MC it is an opportunity. What can you say when massive amounts of Cores/Skill Points willingly come to you. He will keep getting stronger while they remain the same.

    Dunno why I remember this song while reading this?!?!
    Demons - Imagine Dragons
    When the days are cold and the cards all fold
    And the saints we see are all made of gold
    When your dreams all fail and the ones we hail
    Are the worst of all, and the blood's run stale
    I wanna hide the truth, I wanna shelter you
    But with the beast inside, there's nowhere we can hide
    No matter what we breed, we still are made of greed
    This is my kingdom come, this is my kingdom come
    When you feel my heat, look into my eyes
    It's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide
    Don't get too close; it's dark inside
    It's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide
    At the curtain's call it's the last of all
    When the lights fade out, all the sinners crawl
    So they dug your grave and the masquerade
    Will come calling out at the mess you've made
    Don't wanna let you down, but I am hell-bound
    Though this is all for you, don't wanna hide the truth
    No matter what we breed, we still are made of greed
    This is my kingdom come, this is my kingdom come
    When you feel my heat, look into my eyes
    It's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide
    Don't get too close; it's dark inside
    It's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide
    They say it's what you make, I say it's up to fate
    It's woven in my soul, I need to let you go
    Your eyes, they shine so bright, I wanna save that light
    I can't escape this now, unless you show me how
    When you feel my heat, look into my eyes
    It's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide
    Don't get too close; it's dark inside
    It's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide
